I actually knew about both of these guys, they were just buried this year. Burnett got hurt the year before this past season and he literally vanished from scouts minds. Barely heard anything on him the whole process.

As I said on Twitter: Watch Barnett vs Stanford and explain to me why no one had a mid round grade on the guy.

A TON of plays near and behind the LOS, very active, great play recognition, trustworthy to not bite on play fakes or route subterfuge, trustworthy in deep coverage, great and sure tackler.

Honestly, I can't figure out why the Steelers weren't interested, since he fits their safety play style to a T.

Maybe the Steelers were that unnamed NFL team quoted in the recent draft article, who said they won't take anyone from Kansas State program, because Bill Snyder doesn't give them access to his players. Would explain zero interest in Willis and Barnett.

When CBS first made the deal with NFL draft scout, they listed all the prospects and their measurements/test results-- all on one giant, searchable and sortable sheet-- it was SO much better than the layers/tabs they do it in now. Back then, you could search for all CBs by arm length or all players by fastest shuttle or fastest 10 yard split. It was an awesome resource. I have written to them on multiple occasions, explaining why the new set up is disappointing and useless-- never a response.
